Journey, Not A Destination

Wow, there is some serious shit going on over at the bodybuilding.com forum.

Supposedly some guy who posts over there posted about how he was going to take a lot of pills and kill himself. That forum is beyond fucking stupid to begin with... it's as if all the dumbest people in the world congregate in one corner of the internet to argue about fucking nothing.

Anyhow, many of the members and even mods are egging him on to do it. They're asking him to do it. And supposedly films himself with his web cam doing it.

Here's the post from over at Lyle's board. I'd usually say it's bogus but bb.com is shot down right now which never happens.

***

I'll try to be succinct

Yesterday, a teenage boy that usually posts in the misc. section makes a thread saying he is going to OD on pills...

a bunch of homos start posting the 'do it faggot' image and telling him to videotape it etc etc, since it's bb.com this was 2 b expected but even the fucking mods were egging him to do it.

The kid goes live on jtv and takes the pills and falls asleep, the jtv live stream goes on for hours and lots and lots of people from bb.com and 4chan and the like go there and watch it live

no one calls the cops or does anything

one kid from India calls the cops but they don't take him seriously, I'm not sure but I think after 8 hours have passed people start calling the cops and they finally go to his house and turn the webcam off

today the retards that post on bb.com and 4chan start making photoshops and shit like that and I start to insult them and me and a couple of others are threatened with hack attacks from 4chan

people from the media start looking at the story and it seems that some people could face legal action

lots of people start deleting and editing their posts

shit hits the fan

bb.com shuts down the forums
 
It hasn't come out yet. I won't post it here but there's a video up over at Lyle's forum. Nothing gross or anything but completely fucking disrespectful. It just shows a kid laying on his bed with his back to the camera and a couple of policemen coming in and checking out the scene and turning off the web cam.

Sick.
 
what people don't know - is that when their posts are deleted -they aren't really deleted.. andif the police are serios - the servers can be confiscated and those posts recovered very easily..

I love technology -I hate people...
 
ditto that. i'm anxious to see what becomes of this. people calling his phone and shit. i don't understand people at all.
 
your last link where the guy was talking abot watching the video at 5am and the boy was twitching -umm - didn't he think to actally do something?
 
wow i can't believe noone did anything for a long time. it seems everything became entertainment. disgusting in my opinion.

steve, thanx for the exercises i did them yesterday and i like doing them a lot. i can't do all of them, but i have on objective to try until i can perform them in a satisfactory matter. they're really calling for mind focus, a fact that i like very much. the only exercise that kinda gives me problems are the shelcs. i found some videos on youtube, but if you have any better i would really appreciate it :)
have a great day :)

And now because of the hype and media build up, whats the bet there will be a bunch more copy cat suicides.

Retarded. I agree the guy wasnt sane of mind to have that much drugs and to even threaten it anyway. Yeah people shouldnt be jeering them on, but in reality how many idiots threaten to kill themselves online just for attention seeking. Hundreds of them.
You learn not to take it seriously, you learn that you're the fool if you fall for a prank, and all the rest.
Im guessing most of the other forum members (and agreed its not the best forum) probably assumed it was all joking about and horseplay, or that he was yet another emo kid trying to get attention. They probably also feel really really bad and stink about it also.
Sad that the kid wanted to die, even sadder that he had that much drugs at hand that he could do it easily.

If you can't do the SHELCs, how about supine glute bridges.

I see your point. But most kids (at least that I know of) don't film themselves actually taking the pills. Most kids are lying there convulsing on live stream. There's a point where you'd expect anyone with a heart and brain to say, "Gee, maybe this dude is for real and maybe I should do something about it."

There needs to be a line in my opinion.
 
There DOES need to be a line, and I also think Wishes is right. Also, you said yourself "it's as if all the dumbest people in the world congregate in one corner of the internet to argue about fucking nothing." I guess we still would expect more of them....I dunno, I have talked 2 people out of suicide in my life and dealt with a number of pseudo-suicidal people. It's no joke, but most of the time, yes, it's a cry for help/attention. Still, the webcam shit is SICK and shame on anyone who watched it for EIGHT HOURS and did nothing! I find it hard to believe that not one real friend of this kid found out what was going on and went to help him. Where was his parents? Housemates? Siblings?
 
I can't look at the thread/live feed...I don't think I could handle watching that kid laying there dying. Makes me sick to my stomach just to think about it.

Do you remember that video that came out several years back after 9-11 where that poor American guy got be-headed by some guy in the middle east w/a dull knife? There was this asshole at work that kept playing the video clip over and over on his laptop and he was laughing. I had to sit in the same conference room with him and I had to hear that poor guy dying. I eventually told my asshole co-worker to turn the shit off or turn off the volume. I can still hear his screams in my head and the gurgling noises he made if I think about him. I can't erase it from my memory.

Now, I choose to avoid that crap...as much as it is a "part of life", I chose to block it out and focus on the good. :) Call me a wuss...but I am what I am.

Hey everyone...

Just wanted to check in and say I'll be Internet-less until Monday or Tuesday while I move.

Have a great weekend!
 
Hey everyone...

So we're all moved into the new place. It was an amazingly busy weekend. We had more stuff than we realized needed to be moved, which I think happens to most people. We had so many people who wanted to stop by and see the new place since they've been anxiously awaiting it too. My father, who loves manicuring properties, wanted to saw down a lot of dead trees and start doing all sorts of outside work, of which I helped with of course.

It was just non-stop go go go. It's actually nice to sit down in the office for a breather today.

I still do not have Internet at the new place yet. Today the cable company is coming out, we'll see if they're able to get me up and running. I can't get Comcast where I'm located now so I have to use this local outfit, which is unfortunate b/c my house isn't going to be able to set up. I doubt any 300 year old house is but especially not one with this many interior stone walls. It should be interesting.

Tomorrow the electrician comes to update some of the electricity in the home. I'm not sure if I'll be around here or not.

It's an exciting time. The home is more gorgeous than I had thought and the landscape around the house is to die for. Very, very peaceful.

On a side note, it was nice coming in and checking my hundreds of emails. It's like opening a Christmas present, lol. This was by far the best one... about the blog I wrote regarding Jared:

well done thanks for keeping jareds memory alive! i think you will be glad to know that by sharing your memories of jared you helped alot of people especially my father.

i see my dad once a week and there hasnt been a week where he doesnt talk about jared with a sadness in his eyes and usually breaks down and cries. its to the point where we dont know what to say anymore…well prissy had reservations about showing this to my dad but decided to anyway.
after reading this he said that for the first time since jared died he finally feels at peace.

keep doing the things that your doing because you are changing peoples lives

thanks

jareds older brother
